The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o the um.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that we, J ones.r (lacra, HENRY W; Terssnna, and WALTER D, Tnrsenae, of leveiand, in the county of' Cuyahoga and State-of hio, have invented a certain new and heeft improved Faucet; and we do hereby declare that following is a full, clear, and complete description of the same, reference, being had to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side View of one fascetand removable nozzle or iiiler; Figures 2 and 3 are detachedL views of the faucetkey;

Figures 4 and 5 are views ci' a crimping device, to which reference will be made;

VFigure 6 is a detached view of a reeaovabie nozzle or filler; and I Figure 7 is a sectional view ol" the saine.

Like letters of reference refer to like. parts in the several views.

The nature of this invention relates toa faucetkey and removable nozzle; and

The object thereof is to provide a metallic key with a leather covering, thereby combining in said key the strength and durability of the metal and the iiexible adaptability of the leather, as hereinafter more fully described.

A' represents the body of' the faucet, and which is or may be constructed of Wood or of any other suitable material.

B is the key, which lis of the usual form and of any desirable size, and is inade of metal.

Agdetached view of said key is shownl in figs. 2 and That part of the keyV immediately around the hole C isrednced iu size or chauibered out, as shown in' iig. 3, whereby is irmed a shoulder, l), on the upper part of the key, and a shoulder, E, on the lower part. Between the said shoulder is secured a sleeve or i'errnle of leather, F, which is of the proper size. and shape to fit the key-hole ol' the body of the faucet, and which conforms to the taper given to the tace of the collars or shoulders'l) E; hence the Atwo shoulders and the ferrule F together' forni a true and uuiform taper, as shown in iig. 2.

The key-hole is provided with a metal bush, hence the leather ferrule will work smoothlythereon and free from abrasion, and which, in consequence of the softer character ofthe leather, the key will lit closely and tightly in the key-hole. y,

In order to prevent the ferrule from turning around on the key one or` more grooves, a, is cnt lengthwise The side of the key.

'lheleather for the ferrule, on being wet and softened, is wrapped around the key between the shoulders, and then placed in the crimper, shown in figs. 4 and 5, by the aid of which the leather is compressed around'the key and into the grooves.

Said grooves form acorresponding rib on the inside o' the i'errule, and which, fitting in the groove or grooves, prevent the ferrule from turning.

A faucet-key thus made' has all the strength of one of solid metal, and the advantage over one entirely of metal of being more secure, as the leather will fit closer andtighter in the key-hole.

It is also more durable, as the two materials working together will cause no abrasion, or but little, and the leather being conned between the two shoulders it cannot slip off nor become loose ou the key.

B' is a tapering hollow'nozzle, chamber-ed at its upper end to projection b, and fitted to receive the lower or discharge end oi' key B.

j The purpose oi' this removable nozzle or iiller is to attach it firmly to the lower end of key B by inserting the lower end of said key into the chamba-red upper end of nozzle B', whereby small-necked bottles or vials may be filled without the use of the common funnel. The nozzle B' may be extended to any desired length, and, if necessary, have a very small dischargeopening at its lower end.

By this arrangement of nozzle, with key B coustructed as described, a very useful and convenient device is produced for the use of apothecaries or oth'- ers for filling small vessels or vials having small receiving-openings, and the use of a funnel is entirely dispensed with.

Claims. l

'D E with the intervening recess to receive the leather packing l?, and longitudinal grooves a', in said recess, in which the leather packing is compressed, oonstructed to operateas herein described.

2. The removable tapered and chamhered nozzle or filler B', having the enlarged chamber at its upper end to oiset b, in the manner` and for the purpose described.
